This was one of those dream-withn-a-dream things. In the first-layer dream I was at a brother's place for the Christmas holidays. It wasn't a specific location or specific brother, but it was at a nearby (ca. 2 hour drive) location, which becomes relevant. I'd only been planning to visit for a couple of days, but on arrival I learned that there was a plan for all of us to bundle into cars and drive up to Bend Oregon for a ski trip. So I'm kind of whining about how it might have been nice to know this <i>before</i> showing up so that I could have brought my skis and packed warmer clothes. And I'm trying to calculate whether this planned trip will get me back by the time my vacation is up. And then there's the weird part. My horrible head-cold carried over into the dream, so in the dream I was spending a lot of my time nodding off to sleep constantly. And in those dream-naps I would dream that I was still in the exact same location and circumstances except that Mom was there. I was slipping between sleep and waking (in the primary dream) smoothly enough that it took me a while to figure out that I was dreaming and not hallucinating, and then I debated over whether to tell anyone about it for fear of making them feel bad.

Analysis: no deep inner meaning. I'm sick in bed. We just had a family holiday get-together. And I miss my Mom.

And then the dream verged off into being at some SCA arts collegium and I was trying to remember what class I'd promised to teach.
